Abstract: Antiplatelet therapy has a well established role as an antithrombotic agent in the settings of percutaneous coronary intervention and acute coronary sydromes, and it has been successful in reducing mortality and morbidity in the two diseases above-mentioned. Recently, the most commonly used drugs were aspirin and clopidogrel, but some clinical data indicate that the combination of these two drugs doesn't work well for all the patients, which may cause some cardiovascular adverse reactions. Therefore, it's extremely necessary to do some further research on a number of promising new anti-platelet drugs. This article reviews the metabolic and onset characteristic of ADP receptor inhibitors antiplatelet drugs (e.g. clopidogrel, prasugrel, ticagrelor, cangrelor) in the treatment of cardiovascular disease and provide a reference for clinical medicine.

Key words: Antiplatelet drugs, P2Y12 receptor, Prasugrel, Ticagrelor, Cangrelor
